Pre- and Post-licensure BSN & RN to BSN Tracks

The RN to BSN program is designed to provide registered nurses the opportunity to obtain a bachelor of science degree in nursing in preparation for professional leadership and career enhancement. Acceptance and validation of credits will be gained through performance in specified courses.


This program builds upon previous education and experiences of registered nurses and features personalized advisement, support and convenient course scheduling, allowing students to continue to work while they pursue their educational objectives.


Admitted students meet with a faculty advisor who will help them develop a plan of study that is based on their individual transcripts. Most of our students shorten their plan of study by transferring prerequisite and elective courses from other accredited colleges and universities, challenging courses, holding a nursing certification, and/or through prior learning assessments.


Students must complete 40 credit hours at the College. Although most of our RN to BSN students work full-time and choose to take classes on a part-time basis, some students opt to be full-time students.


All students must complete the program of study within five years of beginning upper division nursing courses.

Program Highlights

  • Builds on AD and Diploma nursing programs through a 2+2 curriculum

  • Convenient course scheduling allows students to work while pursuing educational objectives

  • Nursing courses are supported by distance learning to increase flexibility

  • Individualized faculty advising for all nursing students

  • Small class size enhances student/faculty relationships
